Bobbi Brown Thread

The Bobbi Brown thread. Bobbi Brown was the first brand that got me excited about makeup. So I'll always have a soft spot for BB. And now Sephora has the amazing 25 year year palette.

Note, the holiday lip shade is sold out on Nordstrom. I'm going to be watching for it on Sephora's site.

@Titian06 You're welcome. Appreciate the support. Bobbi got me started loving makeup. The brand needs it's own thread!

@meganlisa I saw a demo of all 3 cities' palettes on Youtube (BBPro Hannah Martin's channel.) Now I really want both Paris and New York!

Did you know about the free $30 off of $80 purchase at Gilt City for Bobbi Brown cosmetics?

@Ispend2much6 I got the gilt promo. But, and call me totally crazy and delusional (I know, I know) but I really believe that I will get that Sephora BB rewards from the bazaar. No, my chances aren't good and, try though I may, seemingly I can never get those stupid rewards. But this year will be different!!! So I'm not using my gilt promo until after I try (and probably loose) that BB reward.

What did you get? Or still holding out as well?

Hi meganlisa,

What a great idea to start a Bobbi thread! I too have a soft spot for the brand. I just loved those rectangular shimmer brick palettes and would ask for them for bday gifts back in the day 🙂

I love these Shimmer Bricks we have on the site now and I loved using the Illuminating Bronzing Powder over the summer.

Anyways, thanks for posting!

Best,

Mali

@MaliBT I have the shimmer bricks palette in my loves and will likely be buying it very soon. Such a steal. There were so many things on the site so fast, deciding got tough. But it just might be a must have.

Bobbi Brown was the first brand that really got me buying makeup. I was so new to looking polished and I remember walking away with the taupe eyeshadow, brown and nude lipsticks, pink blush and that foundation stick. Then I moved on to bronzer and a shimmer lipstick (raspberry, different than the raspberry today). Beach is still a favorite scent and I never run out.

Seems like the brand deserves it's own thread!

@meganlisa Just so you know the vouchers expire October 9.

I don't have enough points for the BB reward, so I'm hoping for Hourglass.

I did have a giftcard to Bloomie's, so I'm expecting the Union Jack eyeliner any day now. Since I wear mostly neutral eyeshadows, I really like the idea of wearing more daring eyeliners. I can always pare it down by applying it on top of a black liquid liner if need be. Love that trick!

And, I'm thinking that it will match well with YSL's Faux Cils mascara in blue. I like to add that on top of black mascara, but just from the underside of the base of my top lashes to halfway up the lashes. I think it adds a brightening effect without being too much (I like subtle makeup.) Sorry for writing a novel!

@meganlisa,

Totally! I love it. Yeah purchases can definitely be hard to decide. I might need to get the Bobbi To Glow 🙂 I don't have that yet!

Best,

Mali

@meganlisa, I picked up the palette during the in-store Rouge event but have not touched it yet. It's so sad that I don't want to mess up the pretty shimmers by swirling a brush in it. 😞 I'll use it eventually...probably when I'm done staring at it (maybe Christmas?).

Re: Bobbi Brown Thread

meganlisa — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 03:08:19 GMT

@MaliBT The palette will be mine...I just might wait until the VIB sale, hoping it lasts. So many lovelies lately!

@angelKiss24 If you do swirl I'd love to hear your thoughts. Must have? I can totally understand why you don't want to touch it. So lovely!

@Ispend2much6 I like more subtle makeup too. Occasionally I go a little wild but mostly it's more muted. When busy, easy and natural (idiot proof) looks save me.

I totally get your point on mixing the bright eyeliners/mascaras/black. What a great idea! I have a bright shu uemura I don't wear often and i should try it with a black liner.

It's not my idea; I actually got it from Trish McEvoy (not Trish herself, from a video or one of her kits.) In case you thought we would just be hanging out one day, talking about makeup. 😉

I was too lazy to even do easy makeup last weekend and I went to return a Lancome (gasp!) lipstick. I was in very casual clothing, no eyebrows enhanced, hair wild, and lashes not showing very well.

The cashier suggested that I might like Butter London because it was a good lipstick and it doesn't cost a lot of money like Lancome!

Maybe she was trying to be helpful, but I do wonder if I just looked like I couldn't afford Lancome. The power of makeup...

Just saw this at Nordies, thought it might interest the BB fans here 🙂

That is a beautiful palette, I just wonder what the price point on this will be, this is one that I would love to get.
